Seattle Good Business Network has partnered with Sustainable Connections and Business Impact NW to make the annual Farm-to-Table Trade Meeting a special regional event during Food Biz Week. Please join us!
What is the 2021 Farm-to-Table Trade Meeting?
A virtual farm and food business conference on Tuesday, February 23 connecting hundreds of farmers, fishers, chefs, grocery buyers, food artisans, processors, and distributors with networking and educational workshops. Create and strengthen market partnerships, and learn from each other about programs and solutions to support the needs of your business or organization in 2021.
Participants will be able to connect with other attendees through small group networking, our valuable Buyer-Producer Meetup, and on our new dedicated Slack community for Food Biz Week. This online community will be available for attendees all week to send messages to one another, learn more about program sponsors and partners, discuss program content, and share resources or requests with people from all over Puget Sound.
All presentations will have both English and Spanish closed captioning available. There will be both English and Spanish transcripts of the Trade Meeting once the event is complete. Scholarships available.
